Getting a Tablet

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! My husband and I are catching up on some cleaning and household projects as the rest of the month will be spent out of town or having family come over. I’m excited because my husband ordered my anniversary gift, an Archos tablet from Newegg, and we’re expected it either Tuesday or Wednesday.

We’ve been hunting and looking around at all of the options out there and the 80 G9 TURBO Android Tablet looked like the best fit. He’s also getting a tablet as his anniversary gift, but we’ll see if he’ll wait for the next iteration of the Archos or if he’ll get the same one he ordered for me.

I’m working on a post about shopping for Android tablet and will include our notes and thoughts. If you’ve recently bought a tablet, please share your personal reviews in the comments below. I’d love to include it and give credit to you for sharing.

I’m with Jon on this one. I’m a Mac user and am saving for a 13″ laptop, maybe on Craigslist after the holidays. I need word processing capabilities and would like to be able to work on spreadsheets etc. when out on job sites with my husband. My sister has an iPad and loves it. I’ll be interested to get your reviews. Nice anniversary gift though : )
